There are (some) guards available though? You could rewrite your example as:
Guards are a bit limited in that they cannot contain function calls, but that's a problem of the BEAM and not something Gleam could control. | ||||||||

Ah right, I remember now. > Guards are a bit limited in that they cannot contain function calls, I feel like that's not a small sacrifice. > but that's a problem of the BEAM and not something Gleam could control. Could Gleam desugar to a case expression like I wrote above? | ||||||||

You most likely asked an AI for this. They always think there is an `if` keyword in case statements in Gleam. There isn't one, sadly. EDIT: I am wrong. Apparently there are, but it's a bit of a strange thing where they can only be used as clauses in `if` statements, and without doing any calculations. | ||||||||
